sympatico opens eyes to the
power of Microsoft Media Network
Driving additional traffic to four emerging channels on the popular Sympatico/
MSN portal required an ad network with great reach and powerful targeting. The
attention-grabbing Open Your Eyes display ad campaign delivered the impact
to engage audiences. However, it was the contribution of the Microsoft Media
Network, delivering reach and targeting to maximise a limited budget, which
proved most eye opening.
